The Journal Club will take place at 6 p.m. around the 3rd Thursday of each month.

We will be sending out information on each Journal Club monthly. There will be a sign up available for each month.

Each resident is required to attend three (3) journal club meetings per year.

Work with Dr. Christopher Jackson to select the article.
Each article will be placed on the website.
